On a Good Morning Britain interview with Piers Morgan on Friday, Donald Trump did something he rarely does.

When Morgan asked if he regretted his November retweets of three unverified, anti-muslim videos posted by far-right, ultra-nationalist extremist group, Britain First, Trump muddled through what can only be described as a non-apology:

Trump first defends his decision to retweet the videos:

I am a big believer in fighting radical Islamic terror. This was a depiction of radical Islamic terror.

Then when Morgan points out that the videos were unverified, Trump tries to minimize his part in it:

Well, they are, but I didn't do it. I didn't go out and...I did a retweet.

Later in the interview, Morgan again implores Trump to apologize, saying, "I think it would go a long way."

To which Trump replied:

Here's what's fair. If you're telling me these are horrible people, horrible racist people, I would certainly apologize if you'd like me to do that. I know nothing about them.

Twitter wasn't having it:

LOL how to give an apology without actually apologizing!

FAKE APOLOGY!!!

By the way, you look terrible @realDonaldTrumpNice red eyes and a very “bad hair day”!SAD

Forget that he was absolutely told that the was an extreme right wing group that had been hauled through the courts for their actions. But I guess it was fake news until his protege Piers Morgan said it

That Donald Trump feels he can apologise to Piers Morgan, that he trusts the description of Britain First by someone he sees as a friend rather than listen to Theresa May, UK and US government officials on the nature of BF says more about Trump than it does about May
